Turkish Parliament approves military dispatch to Azerbaijan

The scope of the Turkish mission, its size and duration will be determined by President Erdogan.

Turkish MPs approved Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s proposal to send Turkish troops to Azerbaijan. It was reported by Anadolu on Tuesday, November 17.

The draft decree, signed by the head of state, was submitted to the legislative body for approval last Monday.

The text of the document draws attention to the terms of the joint declaration on Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as the demand of the official Baku to form a joint center of Turkey and the Russian Federation to monitor the ceasefire regime.

“Azerbaijan will determine the location of the joint center. The center will be operated by military personnel and, if necessary, civilian specialists. The center’s work will aim to ensure peace and stability in the South Caucasus in light of measures to guarantee the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan, which is reflected in the relevant resolutions of the UN Security Council and OSCE. The dispatch of military personnel to Azerbaijan also responds to the national interests of Turkey, “the document says.

The scope of the mission, the number of staff and the duration will be determined by the Administration of the President of Turkey.

According to article 92 of the Turkish Constitution, the duration of the mission is determined by one year.

Earlier, Kremlin President Dmitry Peskov reported on the differences between Russia and Turkey on Karabakh and different views on ways to resolve this conflict.

And Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov argued that Turkish observers would have limited mobility in the Nagorno-Karabakh territory.
